Legally, a motor vehicle driver during the probationary period must be accompanied by an experienced driver with at least three years of driving experience in the corresponding vehicle type when driving on the highway. If caught driving alone on the highway during the probationary period, no points will be deducted, but a fine will be imposed, and the driver will be ordered to exit the highway at the nearest exit. If preparing to enter the highway, the driver will be educated and advised to turn back. Here are the relevant regulations: 1. During the probationary period, motor vehicle drivers are prohibited from driving buses, commercial passenger vehicles, police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles, or vehicles carrying explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic or radioactive materials, and other hazardous substances. Additionally, the driven motor vehicle must not tow a trailer. 2. When driving on the highway during the probationary period, the driver must be accompanied by a licensed driver with at least three years of experience in the corresponding or higher vehicle class. For drivers of small automatic transmission vehicles specially designed for the disabled, the accompanying driver must hold a license for small automatic transmission passenger vehicles or higher. 3. During the probationary period after adding a new vehicle class to the license, driving a motor vehicle of the originally licensed class is not subject to the above restrictions.
